WLP833 German Bock - White Labs Yeast

Ice Pack

Helps extend the time that the yeast stays cool in transit. Cool temperatures help keep the viability of the yeast higher which in turns leads to faster fermentation start times and better beer. The Insulated shipper helps the ice last much longer, however neither option will ensure your yeast stays cool the entire trip.

Yeast Nutrient

Keep your yeast healthy and happy with the nutrients it needs to make great beer! Yeast nutrients help prevent off-flavors, decrease fermentation time, and increase alcohol potential. Nutrients are especially important when making high gravity beers.

Yeast Starter Kit

Yeast starters offer higher cell counts at the time the yeast is pitched, leading to faster, healthier fermentations and better tasting beer! A higher cell count is especially important for lagers and high gravity beers.

From the alps of southern Bavaria (que the music), this yeast produces a beer that is beautifully balanced between malt and hop character. The excellent malt profile makes it well-suited for Bocks, Doppelbocks and Oktoberfest-style beers. A very versatile lager yeast, it is so well-balanced that is has gained tremendous popularity for use in Classic American-style Pilsners. Also good for Munich Helles-style lager beer.

We Recommend you make a yeast starter for all lagers. Because of the cold environment you will need about 4 times as much yeast to successfully ferment a lager. If you don't have a yeast starter pitch 2-4 vials at 60-70F and cool to 48-52F within 12-18 hours. To ferment lagers like the German's and Czech's make an active starter of 2000ml per 5 gallons. Pitch at 45-48F and let it naturally rise to 48-52F. Hold your fermentation at 48-52F for 4-6 weeks in the primary. A diacetyl rest is recommended after the last week of fermentation. Raise to 55-58F for 3-5days and crash to 40F. It is normal if lager fermentation takes 3-4 days to show any sign of krausen after pitching yeast.

Great lager yeast!

I love this yeast, it gives a great malty backbone to any lager I’m brewing without getting that green apple flavor you get with some stains of lager yeast.

This is my go-to lager yeast. Have used for bocks, Vienna lagers and award-winning Octoberfests. Provides a great malty profile with a slight dryness at the end. Have repitched repeatedly and 833 seems to maintain its integrity. FANTASTIC lager yeast!
